It is.  I'll assume you want to make an iso-9660 CD-ROM.


* make an iso9660 image of the file system you want to ROM, including a
/boot.  (I suggest mkisofs.)

* once you've done that, run installboot_cd9660 on the image.

* burn it on to a rom.


easy, eh?


I'm not sure about making an FFS CD-ROM.  It, too, should be possible,
but NetBSD's CD-ROM driver fakes up a disklabel rather than trying to
read a disklabel from the CD-ROM, and i'm not sure if it includes the
right magic to make FFS recognize the partition, etc.
